Opposition parties in the House of Representatives are extremely critical of the government’s approach to the nitrogen crisis and the relevant press conference held last night.
BBB leader Van der Plas has reacted sharply to Prime Minister Rutte’s leadership and believes it should be clear. Since the BBB’s victory in the provincial council elections two weeks ago, Van der Plas’ party has played an important role in the nitrogen issue. The party is currently the largest of all federal states and therefore has a significant say in the implementation of the nitrogen concept in the federal states.
Among other things, Van der Plas advocates for an emergency law to solve the nitrogen problem. “No one talks about the suffocating nitrogen law. That’s why we’re totally stuck,” he says. “The economic and social consequences are enormous.” He also urged CDA boss Hoekstra to remove 2030 from the coalition agreement. This year, it was agreed, nitrogen emissions should be significantly reduced.
The CDA said it wants to renegotiate nitrogen once provincial bodies are created.

PvdA boss Kuiken spoke about an “emergency measure” on the Op1 TV show. He says the situation is almost “ridiculous”. “Government means the courage to act and decide. But you cannot say that we are shifting the responsibility to the countryside without knowing what will happen. No start, no acceleration.”
According to GroenLinks boss Klaver, Prime Minister Rutte’s statement was a “hallucination.” “A cabinet should lead and create clarity. “This cabinet is only concerned with itself and cannot solve the great problems of our time.”
PVV boss Wilders describes the press conference as “total chaos” and considers a cabinet crisis “inevitable”. SP leader Marijnissen talks about a “political game” rather than a solution.
According to Esther Ouwehand of the Party for the Animals, Rutte offers “a healthy future for the bus.” “To break? Livestock needs a break. biomass plants. Schiphol Everything except the politics of nature. It’s been on hold for 20 years. It’s incredible that the CDA is allowed to continue sabotaging nitrogen policy,” she says.
